“We shan’t work again” – Spinal Tap

The only one I can think of right now but I know there’s tons more.

And if you have had a chance to somehow apply a movie line that you’ve always wanted to say in real life please do tell the story.

“The cake is a lie!”

…because the cake is a lie.

Haha, yeah…that is true. I actually have had a chance to say the Sanjuro line “Stupid friends are dangerous” before…I was quite pleased with myself. Unfortunatly I didn’t take my own advice. =/

I’m still waiting for someone to ask my name so I can stare longly out the window and respond…

“mulberry field.”

…and have them get it.

Where’s “The cake is a lie!” from?

And yeah Yojimbo has had a lasting effect on how I carry myself. Since I first watched it in sixth grade I’ve integraded his chin rubbing hand gestures into my personal style.

The common phrase popularizing the concept of “your promised reward is merely a fictitious motivator” is, in fact, not from a movie at all.

Never heard of it…But what do I know…It works anyway. =]

I’ve also wanted to, in arguement, talk really fast in deep, heavy 1940’s film noir like slang to where the other person has no idea what I’m talkin about like a few scenes from The Maltese Falcon.

The one I’d say, if I ever had 15 minutes on live TV. If I was an anchor, they told me I was going to be canned, tonight is my final broadcast, I’m gonna shout this to the world, gonna scream it, gonna make everybody know.

“I’m mad as HELL, and I am NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE!!!”

Glengarry GlenRoss:

“You see pal, that’s who I am and you are NOTHING!”

Also (and I would almost buy a fake diamond-studded Rolex just to pull this one):

“You see this watch? You see this watch? This watch costs more than your car.”

And of course (since I work corporate meetings a lot, where coffee is essential):
“PUT that coffee DOWN…coffee is for CLOSERS.”

Or pull a “Kinski” on someone. Lean over to him, point at a tall man, and say “That man is a head taller than me. That may change..”

I think you’d suddenly have all the personal space you could want.

One of my favorite lines requires a set-up by another party.

Someone would have to ask me, “What are you rebelling against?” (as they ask Johnny [Marlon Brando] in THW WILD ONE).

then I’d have my answer ready: “What’ve you got?”

I’d love a change to say “I’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way”

“sex with you is a Kafkaesque experience.”

I would use this if someone were being rude

“And if you have had a chance to somehow apply a movie line that you’ve always wanted to say in real life please do tell the story”

That’s easy: I was at the Melbourne Arts Centre for a concert of music from science fiction movies. So we had “Star Wars”, “Superman”, “2001”, et cetera.

In the foyer there was a person dressed as a Stormtrooper. A really, REALLY short person! Probably no more than five and a half feet without the helmet, I’d say. It was a perfect opportunity to say:

“Aren’t you a little short for a Stormtrooper?”

“Why couldn’t you put the bunny back in the box?”—-I have always wanted to be in a situation were it was somewhat reasonable to say this…and God willing…. someday I will….

I just saw some clips from this movie on Youtube. They’re hilarious. I need to watch it again under the assumption that it is intentionally bad.
